Did WWE subtly reveal Roman Reigns' opponent at Royal Rumble 2025? Exploring the chances

Just a few hours ago, WWE shook social media by revealing the official poster for Royal Rumble 2025, featuring Roman Reigns. Besides The Original Tribal Chief, the poster includes big names like Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, and CM Punk. Fans are already pumped and ready for the Rumble next year, but many believe this poster subtly hints at a possible clash between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes at Royal Rumble 2025.

This assumption arises due to both Roman and Cody being prominently featured on the poster, alongside their ongoing chemistry in the fight against The Bloodline. The two stars are set to form an unexpected duo against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu at Bad Blood.

However, despite this temporary alliance, Roman and Cody still have unfinished business, leading many to believe that they could face each other at the Royal Rumble.

When Roman Reigns returned at SummerSlam, he warned Rhodes that it’s only a matter of time before he gets the Undisputed WWE Title back. The expectation of Roman facing Cody at the Royal Rumble comes from the possibility that by then, Roman will have finished his storyline with Solo Sikoa's Bloodline.

At Survivor Series WarGames, a Bloodline civil war is expected to take place, which will likely determine who the real Tribal Chief is. Once the family business is settled, Roman's next priority could be reclaiming the Undisputed WWE Championship. All these signs point towards a potential rematch between Rhodes and Reigns at Royal Rumble 2025, with the inclusion of both stars on the poster heightening the speculation.

For those who may not know, Royal Rumble 2025 will take place on February 1, 2025, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. It will be interesting to see what direction WWE has planned, and whether we’ll get the much-anticipated third chapter of Roman vs. Cody at this PLE.

Who else could Roman Reigns wrestle at Royal Rumble 2025?

If the trilogy between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes doesn’t take place at Royal Rumble 2025, then The Original Tribal Chief could face either Solo Sikoa or Jacob Fatu in a singles match. It would depend on which opponent Roman hasn't faced in a singles match by that time.

With Crown Jewel coming up after Bad Blood, it's possible that fans might see Roman Reigns in a singles match against one of them at that event. This would leave the other Bloodline member to face Reigns at the Royal Rumble if he doesn’t wrestle Cody Rhodes.

Additionally, WWE could explore the possibility of Roman competing in the traditional Rumble match, with him emerging victorious to secure another WrestleMania main event.
